Chapter 76
Lize Park in April was the most beautiful time. Every year during this season, many newlyweds would come here to take wedding photos. The location of Yu Wan and Li Shen’s last wedding photos is also set here.
This time, before Li Shen could post the finished product on Weibo, some onlookers at the site posted some footage from the photoshoot. Perhaps because it was the last season, many fans were touched when they saw it. In a blink of an eye, it was finally the end of a series.
Yu Wan’s birthday was shortly after this. Li Shen said that after the two of them met again, on her first birthday, they got back together, on her second birthday. they got married, so for her first birthday, they should have a baby right?
Yu Wan, “….”
Not to mention that her wedding school has just started, and even Li Shen has not finished his national tour. It is obviously not a good time to have a baby.
However, the two of them have been married for almost a year. They are not in a hurry but the elders in their family have already started to urge them. Before, because Yu Wan said that she wanted to take four wedding photos and think that taking wedding photos with a big belly would not look good, no one mentioned it. Now the wedding photos are also finished. Now, every time they call home, the elders would mention it.
Before Yu Wan’s birthday, her mother called again under the pretense of wishing her a happy birthday but in actuality, she was checking if they have any plans of having a baby.
“Mom, we know. Li Shen’s concert doesn’t end until the second half of the year. No matter what, we have to wait until the end of the year to consider.”
When Yu Wan’s mother heard her say this, she chuckled, “Don’t put the blame on Li Shen. Don’t think I don’t know it’s you who is dealing with your school that you don’t have time to give birth.”
“……”
“....” Yu Wan was silent for a while, “We’ve been married for a year. We’re not in a hurry to have kids. It’s nice to just live a life with just the two of us for a while.”
“You two knew each other from when Li Shen was still in college. You count how many years you have lived in a two-person world.”
“……”
“....” Yu Wan meekly said, “Didn’t we break up for three years?”
Yu Wan’s mother coldly snorted.
Yu Wan quickly took advantage of the silence to say something, “Right, Third Aunt asked me to borrow money.”
“Borrow money?” Yu Wan’s mother completely forgot about the baby talk, “She is an elder and she wants to borrow money for a junior?”
“Yes. She said that if she asked you, you will not lend it to her.”
“Heh, so she still remembered the 100,000 yuan she borrowed and hasn’t repaid.”
Yu Wan coughed, “This time she didn’t want to borrow 100,000. She wants to borrow 2.4 million.”
“2.4 million??” Her mother’s voice rose. Yu Wan guessed that she will remember this 2.4 million for the next month, “What did she need to borrow so much for?”
“She said she wants to buy a store that is 2.8 million. She will pay 400,000 and let me pay the remaining 2.4 million.”
“....”
“You think it’s weird too right? Might as well be asking me to give it to her.”
“Did you lend it to her?”
“Of course not. Your daughter is not that stupid. But I’m afraid she might call me again. You know she is an elder. I can’t say anything.”
“I know. I will call her.”
“En, all right.”
After Yu Wan hung up, she let out a deep breath. Although Third Aunt can be outlandish, she at least helped her divert her mother’s attention.
If she borrowed 400,000 from her, she would lend it to her.
When Li Shen came out of the shower, he saw Yu Wan sitting on the bed with her phone. She looked like a weight has been lifted off her shoulders. He smiled and walked over, “What is it, who is it this time asking about kids?”
Yu Wan looked at him, “My mom. But I used 2.4 million to divert her attention.”
Li Shen also knew about her Third Aunt asking for money. He sat down and looked at her, “It looks like your Third Aunt made a contribution to you.”
“En, I will thank her in spirit.”
Li Shen smiled and moved closer, “But I think what your mother said is correct. It’s time to think about having kids.”
“……”
“.....Wait until your tour is over.”
Li Shen thought, “After the tour is over, I won’t have a lot of work for the rest of the year. I will definitely cooperate with you.”
“……”
“....” Who cooperates with who?
It is expected that the elders would want babies. However, what she didn’t expect was when Li Shen’s tour ended, the fans started pushing for babies as well. Not only did they leave messages on Li Shen’s Weibo, but they also left ithemon hers as well.
Everyone calculated the time. Li Shen announced their marriage in August. A year and two months have passed since then. Also, their actual marriage might be earlier so it is time to have a baby!
“……”
Yu Wan, “.....”
Fans these days also worry about this?
It’s really not easy.
After winter, Yu Wan found a few more instructors for her school. She finally retired from the front line of teaching and started to prepare for a baby.
In addition to paying attention to diet, work, and rest, physical fitness is also an important part. Li Shen is worried that it will be too hard on her when she is pregnant, so he is puller her into running with him every night.
Yu Wan couldn’t run ten kilometers and the community was only so big. Li Shen would pass by her a couple of times and they would finish off the last thirty minutes of the run together.
While they are preparing for the pregnancy, they didn’t send Lili away. The elders are worried about Lili but Yu Wan and Li Shen said that it was okay for her to stay with them.
The days are going smoothly but Yu Wan was still a little nervous. After all, pregnancy will make a woman's body undergo tremendous changes, and there are risks in subsequent childbirth.
Li Shen seemed to see through her thoughts and enrolled her in childbirth classes which he would accompany her in all the time. This is a one-on-one class. The teacher had teased Li Shen before that this is a class for a mother-to-be, not a father-to-be.
Li Shen didn’t see it that way. Even though he is not the one who will be pregnant, he is still just as nervous. The more he understands these things, the more he can prepare for the future.
With their meticulous preparation, the little life finally formed. On the day the pregnancy was discovered, Li Shen was still recording a song in the studio. Xiao Dong answered the phone and when she heard what Yu Wan said, Xiao Dong didn't dare to delay for a moment and shouted at Li Shen in the studio. Li Shen was stunned for a second and then ran out of the recording studio at record speed.
The sound engineer blankly stared at the empty recording studio for two seconds and turned to look at Qiao Yichen. Qiao Yichen stood there with his arms folded and said, "Let’s leave it here, and continue tomorrow."
“Okay.”
When Yu Wan called, she had already returned home. Li Shen hurried home from the company and anxiously asked her, “How are you? Why did you go to the hospital alone? Why didn’t you call me!”
She was as anxious as him when she first received the report. At this moment, she has calmed down a lot, “I wanted to tell you when I was sure. I don’t want to get your hopes up.”
Li Shen was still sweating. He didn’t even dare to blink as he looks at her, “What did the doctor say?”
“Everything is normal. I just have to go for a checkup every month. He also prescribed me some medicine to take on time.”
“En, remember to tell me when you go for a check-up.”
Yu Wan thought about something and was a little worried, “Wouldn’t it cause a commotion if you come with me? What if you get caught by the media?”
“I will be careful. My disguises are really good.”
Yu Wan thought of Li Shen's blonde wig and lady's jacket and silently nodded. Indeed, they are very good.
“Have you notified your parents?” Li Shen asked.
“Not yet. I was afraid they would worry and rush over here. That would be troublesome.
Li Shen smiled, “Of course, they will be worried. But you should still tell them, otherwise, the consequences will be more serious. Why don’t we hire a nanny for you.”
“We probably don’t need one”
“We do.” Li Shen asked again, “Also, the baby’s name. Should we start thinking about it?”
“……”
“.....” Don’t get ahead of yourself.
Chapter 77
At the end of November, Yu Wan successfully gave birth to a baby girl named Li Linlin. This is the name Li Shen came up with ten months in advance.
As Yu Wan said before, she had seen many weird names in her years as a wedding planner. Li Linlin is quite a normal name.
It’s just hard to say.
After the birth of his daughter, Li Shen was so happy and moved that he immediately wrote a song titled Linlin. This song isn’t as popular as Lily but his love for his daughter shows how much he loves his wife.
Fans said that people who can write songs can do whatever they want. It is not enough for him to write a love song for Lily. Now he even wrote a love song for his daughter.
It’s really enviable.
Li Linlin grew up happy and healthy under her family’s love. When she finally went to kindergarten, Yu Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Linlin is very obedient and sensible, she is still young and requires a lot of time to take care of. Now that she can be sent to kindergarten for the teacher to care for, Yu Wan felt a lot more relaxed.
En, it’s a little sorry for Linlin.
Linlin is very attached to Yu Wan, just like Lili. Both the kid and the dog like to follow her around. Now that her mom suddenly sent her to a strange kindergarten, Linlin felt a bit wronged. She cried at the entrance and pulled at Yu Wan’s dress, unwilling to let go.
Yu Wan talked to the teacher for a while. Finally, only when she received some snacks and a pretty doll did her tears stop.
Yu Wan let out a sigh of relief after leaving kindergarten. As she was about to start the car, Li Shen called. “Ah Shen.”
“En, did Linlin go to kindergarten?”
“Yes, she just went in.”
“You’re still there?” Li Shen was surprised. Some time had already passed since the start of school. Linlin just went in? “Were you late today?”
“No, Linlin was crying so hard she wouldn’t let me go. It took a while to calm her down.”
Li Shen laughed, “It’s like this on the first day of kindergarten. Didn’t you cry on your first day?”
“No. My mother had been strict with me since young. I would rather go to kindergarten.”
Li Shen smiled and softly said to Yu Wan, “I will be home the day after tomorrow. I have gifts for you and Linlin.”
Yu Wan couldn’t help but smile when she heard he was coming home, “Do you want me to pick you up?”
“Headmistress Yu is so busy, how can I let you pick me up. Just wait at home with Linlin. I’ll be home in the afternoon.”
“Okay.” Yu Wan ignored his teasing and asked, “What do you want to eat when you come home?”
Li Shen raised a brow.” “You’ll make it?”
“The nanny will.”
Li Shen laughed softly, "The nanny can make whatever you want. I will eat whatever you want to eat."
“Oh….Then I’ll go to school first. I incited Ningning and them to go shopping.”
Li Shen couldn’t help but laugh, “You just sent Linin off and now you are celebrating. If Linlin finds out, she will be sad.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let her know.” This really can’t be blamed on Yu Wan. To take care of Linlin, the family hired a nanny but Linlin likes to stick to Yu Wan. Even Li Shen doesn’t have the same privilege.
One time, before Yu Wan left the house, she specially put Linlin to sleep beforehand. When Linlin woke up in the afternoon and didn’t see her mother, Li Shen hugged and comforted her but she only wants her mother. In the end, Yu Wan had to come home in the middle of the movie.
“I think as the father you should reflect on why Linli isn’t as close to you as she was to me.”
"... Shouldn’t I be the most aggrieved person?" Li Shen was helpless. He spent almost the same amount of time with Linlin as Yu Wan, but Linlin still liked Yu Wan more. Don’t they all say the daughter will stick to her father? It's all a lie! Because of this incident, Li Shen wrote a song, complaining about his daughter's preference for her mother and showing his broken heart.
He originally expected his fans to comfort him. But instead, they laughed at him. Li Shen felt even more wrong. :)
Yu Wan heard Li Shen’s grievances and laughed, “Okay. I’m driving. I will talk to you later.”
“Okay, be careful, baby.”
“...En.” Yu Wan hung up. They are an old couple yet he still talks so sweetly.
Yu Wan finished her work at school in the morning and went shopping and to the movies with Zhao Xin and Zhou Xiaoning. This is the first time she can enjoy a movie after Linlin was born.
After the movie ended, they went to the kindergarten to pick up Linlin to have dinner together.
Linlin felt like she spent an entire year in kindergarten. She didn’t eat much during lunch and was looking gloomy. The children around her didn’t have their mothers with them as well and Linlin felt with more certainty that her mom doesn’t want her anymore. Just as she was about to cry again, the school bell rang. The teacher was deeply relieved.
The first day of school finally ended!!
"Okay, kids, take your things and line up to go outside. Teacher will take you out to find your mom and dad."
The children were filled with excitement when they heard the teacher. After the teacher painstakingly lined them up, she took them out to the front gate.
There were many parents, who came to pick up their kids, standing around the school gate. Linlin followed the teacher and her classmates out of the building and searched for her mother. In the end, Yu Wan was the first to spot her. She waved to her and shouted, "Linlin, Mom is here."
Linlin heard her voice and screamed "Mommy" and ran over with her small schoolbag on her back. Because she ran too fast, she tripped and the small water bottle in her hand rolled aside. This scared the teacher who hurried to help her up. But when she reached her side, Linlin already got up on her own and ran into Yu Wan’s arm.
This scene reminded Yu Wan of when she and Li Shen brought Lili back to Li Shen’s hometown. After Lili came over from the checkpoint in the airport, she plunged herself into Li Shen’s arm.
Yu Wan rubbed her head and examined her body, “Did Linlin get hurt anywhere?”
Linlin shook her head and then tugged at her dress. The teacher picked up the water bottle that fell and brought it over. Yu Wan saw it and quickly thanked her, “Then you Teacher Tang.”
“It’s nothing.”
“Yu Wan asked, “How was Linlin today?”
“Linlin is obedient. She cried a few times but she will be fine after a few days.”
Yu Wan nodded, “Okay. Thank you, teacher, We will leave first.”
“Yes, take care.”
Yu Wan picked up Linlin and took her to the car. Zhou Xiaoning and Zhao Xin were waiting by the car. When they saw them coming over, they started to play with Linlin. Linlin recognizes them and greeted them, “Hello Sister Ning, Sister Xin.”
“Hello, Linlin.” The two sisters were very happy with her greeting. Yu Wan snorted and put Linlin in the car.
“Let’s eat dinner with us tonight okay?”
“Okay.” Linlin nodded.
When she got in the car, Zhao Xin asked, “What does Linlin want to eat? Sister Xin will buy it for you.”
Linlin thought, “I want to eat ice cream.”
Zhou Xiaoning responded, “Doesn’t Linlin like to eat cake? Sister will buy it for you.”
“Okay.”
Yu Wan told her, “Don’t eat too much or you will get fat.”
Zhou Xiaoning said, “Don’t listen to your mother. She just wants you to eat a little so she will eat the rest of your portion later.”
“……”
Yu Wan, “....”
Linlin giggled.
After dinner at Tian Xia Restaurant, Yu Wan took Linlin home. The teacher didn’t assign any homework on the first day so Yu Wan took Linlin to take a bath. Afterward, she had her go downstairs to play with Lili while she takes a shower.
When she came downstairs, Linlin had already turned on the TV and is watching it unpleased with Lili in her arms.
Yu Wan tied her long hair back and walked over. Li Shen’s song was heard on TV. Linlin saw Yu Wan come over and pointed to the TV, “Mommy, I see Daddy.”
Yu Wan also looked at the TV. It is Li Shen’s concert abroad. Because he sang the theme song for Message in Death which successfully opened up in the overseas market, Li Shen has developed well over the years. This is his first world tour and in addition to domestic fans, there are locals as well.
Yu Wan watched for a while and sat beside Linlin. “Daddy called Mommy today. He said he will be back the day after tomorrow. Is Linlin happy?”
“En, happy.” Linlin smiled brightly, “I can finally see Daddy again.”
Yu Wan also smiled and rubbed her head, “Daddy also said he has a gift for Linlin.”
“Wow, that’s great! Is it foreign candy?”
Yu Wan smiled, “Linlin only knows how to eat.”
The news of Li Shen's return to China has been widely reported by the media. This time his concert abroad was very successful, and the tickets were sold out. Many media outlets are waiting to interview him. However, on the day Li Shen returned, he did not accept any interviews and left the airport in a low-key manner.
Many fans came to see Li Shen but in the end, they didn’t catch a glimpse of him. Because of this incident, Li Shen’s fan club once again asked everyone on Weibo not to pick up Brother Shen at the airport because he doesn’t like it.
Li Shen arrived home around 5 o’clock. Yu Wan just so happened to bring Linlin back at this time. Linlin finally saw her dad after a long time and affectionately hugged him and gave him a kiss.
Li Shen was touched. It looks like his daughter still likes him.
Rather than unpack, he first brought out the presents he bought for Linlin and Yu Wan. When Linlin received her gift, she happily ran to the side to open it. Yu Wan wasn’t in a hurry and just smiled at him, “Welcome home superstar.”
Li Shen smiled, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing, just, you are so popular right now. It feels a bit surreal to see you in front of me.”
Li Shen didn’t know if she was joking with him. He took her into his arms and whispered into her ear, “I will always be only Li Shen in front of you.”
The man who will always love you.
